On his way home from school, Simon sees some kids playing football with a ball made of plastic bags. He persuades his father to buy the kids a proper ball, and soon he is joining them in an exciting match. He is certain he is going to score when. Simon is five years old and lives with his sister Nora in Rwanda's capital, Kigali. He experiences Africa with his own eyes, and wants to understand and ask questions.

For many years, Jesko Johannsen was a journalist in Germany. He moved to Rwanda when his children were three and five years old, and had the idea for "Simon in Rwanda" while sitting at his desk looking out over the hills of Kigali. Simon is just like any boy, finding his own ways to connect cultures and explore new horizons. He experiences Africa through European eyes, and reading his adventures will help children to understand what Africa is really like.
